Enter Josephine Taft, rich and successful tech investor, swooping in to save Amy’s company from financial ruin. In addition to being super wealthy and accomplished, Josephine is also a total fox. Will Amy be able to rein in her eccentricities to prove to Josephine that she’s worth the investment? Or will navigating this conflict of interest prove to be too precarious for our quirky heroine? As an often absurd Amy maneuvers through this stylized romantic comedy, always eager to get the girl, butting heads with a whimsical cast of characters, she just may discover that outward success isn’t a good indicator of happiness inside. And sometimes, to prove our love, we’ve got to look within at our own inner truth. No sweat! Right?
